BACKGROUND: Development of new multimodal analgesic regimens have led to substantial improvement in postoperative pain relief. We designed this study to compare the effect of combined vitamin B complex-gabapentin versus gabapentin alone on postoperative pain in women undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

RESULTS: The pain intensity in the gabapentin plus vitamin B complex group was lower than gabapentin group during 12 hours after surgery (95% CI: 1.4-2.2; P

CONCLUSION: Addition of vitamin B complex to gabapentin reduced intensity of postoperative pain and also the total amount of analgesic consumption within the first 12 hours postoperative following cesarean section.
